De La Soul at Bumbershoot (Seattle), 2009

Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Videos on August 7th, 2010 by Hyphen

I’ve been meaning to post up this footage for…well…almost a whole year.  Damn.  Eh well, better late than never!

I shot some visuals for De La’s performance at Bumbershoot last year and the homey mind of i edited it together nicely.  Enjoy and be sure to come to the festival this year.  Drake, J. Cole, and Jay Electronica alone should demand your presence.

Yessir!  It’s been a long time coming, but Shad and crew are bringing one of the best albums of the year, TSOL, to the US for an official release on Decon Media on October 5th.  Here’s a little video they shot to introduce SK to the US, but I mean, if you’re on TAOD, you’ve been up on him…right?

Aloe’s about to drop one of the best albums of the year with September 28th’s Good Things.  It looks like he might be headed up to Seattle next week, and if so, we’ll see if he can stop by the SNSS studio.  Great to see this longtime MC get some shine with his new project.

Kanye rapping his heart out @ Facebook

Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Videos on July 31st, 2010 by Hyphen

Remember this story about ‘Ye rapping to Tunji and I acapella in the back of HOB Anaheim when he was on the come up?  Well that passion is still there and on full display in these videos of his recent trip to the Facebook offices this past week.  I’ve been saying for years that no other successful MC cares this much about his art.  When you combine that passion with his ability, you have the best artist in the game.

Just peep “Mama’s Boyfriend” for proof:

Freddie Gibbs – National Anthem (F*ck The World) (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on July 31st, 2010 by Hyphen

That different kind of For The Win.  FTW.

Gibbs is a perfect example of how you can be a lyricist and still make ‘hard’ records.  This chorus is something that Pac himself would be proud of.
